Persian trireme found?

[Eleatic Guest]

It may be a hoax. The website is notorious for its propagandistic zeal, has a track record for copyright infringements and has in the past fraudulently claimed affiliation to the London School of Oriental and Asian Studies. This became so obvious, that it was even noticed by the Wikipedia (!): one of its founding members, who calls himself Shapur Suren-Pahlavi, got a well-deserved IP-ban. Wiki is not the only website to unmask this man (more...), who goes all the way to prove that the Shah's propaganda that Achaemenid Persia was something special, is right.

Looks like my gut feeling was quite on the mark then. Working at Wikipedia helps developing a sixth sense for subtle historical and ethnic propaganda.
